PDO Mono Threads Procedure
PDO (Polydioxanone) mono threads treatment is a minimally invasive cosmetic
procedure used to improve the appearance of the skin by promoting collagen
production and lifting sagging tissues.
What are PDO Mono Threads?
- PDO mono threads are dissolvable threads made of Polydioxanone, a
biocompatible material commonly used in medical sutures.
- These threads are smooth and single-stranded, unlike cog threads which
have barbs or cones.
- PDO threads are inserted into the skin to create a supportive framework
that lifts and tightens sagging skin.
How does the Treatment Work?
- Consultation: The treatment typically begins with a consultation with a
qualified practitioner who assesses the patient's skin and discusses
their goals and expectations.
- Thread Placement: Local anesthesia may be applied to numb the treatment
area. The PDO threads are then inserted into the skin using a fine
needle or cannula.
- Stimulation of Collagen Production: Once inserted, the threads act as a
scaffold, stimulating the body's natural collagen production process.
This helps to improve skin elasticity and firmness over time.
- Immediate Lift: PDO threads provide an immediate lifting effect by
physically supporting sagging tissues and repositioning them to a more
youthful position.
- Dissolving Process: Over time, usually within 4-6 months, the PDO
threads gradually dissolve within the skin, leaving behind newly formed
collagen that continues to support the skin's structure.
Benefits of PDO Mono Threads Treatment:
- Non-Surgical: PDO mono threads offer a non-surgical alternative to
traditional facelift procedures, with minimal downtime and fewer risks.
- Natural-Looking Results: The treatment provides subtle, natural-looking
results, without the drastic changes associated with surgical
interventions.
- Improvement of Skin Texture: In addition to lifting and tightening, PDO
threads can also improve skin texture, reducing the appearance of fine
lines and wrinkles.
- Versatility: PDO threads can be used to treat various areas of the face
and body, including the jawline, cheeks, brows, neck, and décolletage.
Considerations and Risks:
- While PDO threads are generally considered safe when performed by a
qualified practitioner, potential risks include bruising, swelling,
infection, and temporary discomfort.
- Results may vary depending on individual factors such as skin quality,
age, and lifestyle habits.
- It's essential to choose a reputable and experienced provider for PDO
mono threads treatment to ensure safety and optimal results.
Before undergoing PDO mono threads treatment, it's important to discuss any
concerns or questions with a qualified practitioner to determine if it's the
right option for you.
